# NASDAQ Listings API > The directory of every security listed on the NASDAQ stock market as an API — the reference a brokerage, stock screener or ticker-validation tool needs to confirm a symbol is NASDAQ-listed and see what kind of instrument it is. For each of 5,400+ securities the API returns its ticker symbol, the full security name and a normalized security type (common stock, ETF / fund, warrant, unit, right, preferred, note or depositary receipt) derived from the listing. Look a ticker up, search by symbol or company name, filter by security type, or list them all with a per-type breakdown. This is the NASDAQ listing directory — distinct from sp500-api (S&P 500 index membership) and finance-api (live quotes). Served from memory — always fast. ## Authentication All requests require your oanor API key in the `x-oanor-key` header.
